This is Lit!

Happy New Year! Casye & Elizabeth are back with more wine, more books and side tangents. It's a time of year to reflect on the past. That's why this week we are covering 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The past is a nice place to visit, but please don't live there.

Happy New Years Eve! To celebrate, the hosts visit Discworld in Terry Pratchett's The Hogfather. It's the last night of the year in Discworld. It's Hogwatch time, when the Hogfather leaves gifts for good little boys and girls. Wait, why is he a skeleton carrying a big sythe? Oh no, that's just Death. Happy Hogswatch everyone.

Merry Christmas! It's another wonderful holiday here at This is Lit! It's Casye's Birthday! To celebrate, we are reading 'The Boy in the Smoke' by Maureen Johnson. Who's ready for some scary ghost stories?

It's Christmas time! That means it's time for our first ever holiday episode! Join us as we dive into A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Scrooge is a selfish old miser, until the spirit of his old business partner appears to him on Christmas Eve in an attempt to save his soul.

The hosts follow the Blyton Summer Detective Club in Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero. The sleuths thought they closed the Sleepy Lake Monster case 13 years ago. Then, what is calling them back to Blyton Hills? What happens when the monster's mask doesn't come off?

It's finally time for some Jane Austen! High society is difficult to maneuver, especially when all hope of a good marriage is thwarted by the death of your father. In Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, the girls discover which is more difficult: being ruled by your heart, your head or a nosy match-making neighbor.

We have an announcement!

It's our favorite time of year, Halloween! We will descend into the depths of fear as we read Dracula by Bram Stoker. Keep your stakes handy and make sure that red in your glass is really wine...

In episode nine, the hosts travel to England with the first book in the Samuel Johnson Series, The Gates by John Connolly. Boredom is bad. You may open something you don't want too...

In episode eight, the girls pay a special tribute to one of their good friends, Taylor! Happy wedding! Follow us as we discuss The Princess Bride by William Goldman...the book, not the movie.
